If a picture is worth 1000 words, then the Hot-Dip Galvanizing Facility Tour is worth 10 presentations.  The tour will show specifiers the hot-dip galvanizing process first hand, in order to point out how following recommended design practices pay off.  The tour will highlight process, inspection, and safety measures, as well as environmental practices within the facility.  Furthermore, understanding of the overall process will highlight how the best design/fabrication practices found in ASTM specifications improve efficiency.

Learning Objectives:

• Understanding of the overall process will highlight how the best design/fabrication practices found in ASTM specifications improve efficiency.
• Identify reasons speficiers choose galvanized steel (corrosion protection, durability, availability, versatility, longevity, sustainability, and aesthetics)
• Understand factors that affect hot-dip galvanized steel performance in various environments
• Recognize the positive environmental and economic contributions of hot-dip galvanizing to the goals of sustainable development

Facility tours are worth one LU/HSW credit and must be at least 50 minutes long. In order to receive additional hours for other seminars, those seminars must be given in a separate location at another time.
